The ipfs.exe file should be inside the bin folder, you donā€™t need the other files for IPFS to work.

yeah I built ipfs successfully. I just wonder why there isnt any file like ā€œconfigā€,ā€œLICENSEā€ so that I dont need to change the code and just do the changes in the config file.

The configuration file is located in C:\Users\<Your Username>\.ipfs\config, or if you set the %IPFS_PATH% variable, at %IPFS_PATH%\config.

The LICENSE and README files are inside src\github.com\ipfs\go-ipfs, but they are unnecessary for IPFS to work.
The build-log file in the distribution shows all log messages that were shown while building. Again, not necessary.
You donā€™t need to care about install.sh, thatā€™s a shell script for installing IPFS. (not 100% sure what it does on Windows, but unnecessary)

Note that all you need to do to ā€˜installā€™ the command-line IPFS utility is add the folder with the executable into the %PATH% environment variable, and if you add %GOPATH%\bin, whenever you run go install, you will instantly get that version of IPFS ready to use when you type ipfs.

really appreciate it. but after I run -------------go install -ldflags="-X "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/repo/config".CurrentCommit=XXXXX", I only got ipfs.exe and nothing elseā€¦
And is there any help file for source code of ipfs?
Thanks
